Moreover, the source added, “Despite all the newness in the visuals, the screenplay will have all the elements of a quintessential Atlee film. From a strong introduction block to elevation points, and masala elements. It’s the most ambitious film for both Atlee and Allu Arjun.” Further, the source said, “After a success like Pushpa, it’s important to follow up with the right film to consolidate the position. A6 is the perfect project for Allu to up the stakes further.” However, there is no official confirmation about the film or fee.
